El Mercado

XO Art house is true to its name; it’s quirky but not compromising on comfort.  Staff is so helpful and kind and breakfast is excellent.  Overall a great Cusco experience.

This place was so beautiful. The food was amazing!

Hotel is built around a really nice outdoor patio with a fire pit that's perfect for setting during the day or evening. Rooms were nice if a bit small, restaurant was quite nice - and the staff was excellent. All were exceptionally courteous and helpful, but special thanks go to the concierge, Marco, for his friendly and helpful advice throughout our visit.

We had five rooms.  Everyone loved their rooms.  Very nicely decorated in Peru’s style.   The lobby was very nice with a side meeting area and a beautiful courtyard.
They had a great breakfast and a separate bar and restaurant.  We enjoyed watching the Super  bowl in the bar and they even stayed a little overtime so we could all see the End of the game.  Loved everyone.  Would stay there again.

So cute. Amazing staff. Great food. Close to the center.

This is what you call a good boutique hotel.  Firstly the staff are excellent, nothing is too much trouble, and always with a smile.
Set only about a ten minute walk from the main town square, the rooms are spacious and clean, the sitting area in the courtyard is lovey, with live music during what is effectively a happy two hours.
The breakfast is excellent as too is the food in the lovely restaurant, and very reasonably priced.
Thoroughly recommended in every way.

This was a fantastic hotel.  WE stayed here twice (a total of 3 nights).  The location is quite central, the hotel decor is quite nice.  The service is excellent - they take good care of the guests.  The rooms were nice, really comfy beds and quality bedding.  But the most amazing thing was the shower  One of the best showers I have been in in my whole life - hot and powerful  Great after coming in from a day of hiking to refresh before going out on the town.  They also have a relally nice restaurant and bar.  A great choice in Cusco!

The El Mercado is a quaint hotel located in walking distance to the Cusco center.  The staff is exceptional and the service is 5 star. The rooms are comfortable, decorated in a Peruvian style. However, every convenience that a traveler would expet is available.  .  

This was a beautiful hotel that was recommended by our Peruvian guide. We stayed here before we had to return to the airport the next morning. We were weary from our all day excursion at Machu Picchu and this was a very nice place to relax.
The room was comfortable and clean. The bathroom was quite large.

El Mercado is a great hotel, great breakfast! Big kudos to Andy! Great guy, nice and helpful! The hotel is clean, central, comfortable, beds are great, would come back any time. Spent a total of three nights.

Wonderful stay!

Boutique at its very best.

Great place - amazing shower!

Lovely hotel in the heart of Cusco

We stayed here several nights at the beginning and the end of our visit to Peru. What wonderful staff are at El Mercado! The rooms were well maintained and we loved the alpaca blankets that were on the bed. The breakfast room included a buffet, juice cart, and cooked to order eggs or crepes. Hot beverages include coca tea, coffee, hot chocolate, teas. They refilled our water bottles every morning so we were set for our day. Bottled water is also provided in the rooms. In the late afternoon a staff member brings tiny baskets of chocolates or other sweet treats up to the room which is a welcoming touch.  El Mercado has both a bar and a restaurant.  They have a happy hour which includes 2 for 1 pisco sours (they make good ones). The bar sitting area looks out to the courtyard which has seating (with alpaca blankets) around a fire pit. Live music is provided every night. We ate at least one dinner here and found the food very good. The location is very good with just a short walk to restaurants, shops, and the squares.

Should I ever get to Cusco again, this is where I would stay

We stayed several nights here before and after our visit to the mountain areas.  The hotel is very clean, pleasant, the staff was marvelous and helped me out with several needs that travelers always encounter.  The breakfast has great variety and was awesome! We also had several dinners there and they were really good!!  The location was close to walk into the squares and to do any type of shopping you would like to do.  I would recommend this hotel!

Cusco stay

Excellent start and finish of our tour to Peru. The Mercado will be a go back to place and will use REI again too.  Another great source for tours of Peru is www,andeanSolofperu.com. All of the guides in Peru are freelancers and one of our guides has started this company. One of the best guides we have had on many international and domestic tours.

Great Start to a 9 day trip in Peru - REI Adventure Tour

We just stayed here last week, before and after going to Machu Picchu. Would love to go back again! The staff was friendly and helpful. Didn’t use it, but there was an oxygen tank available near the front door. We had two different rooms, both were spotless and homey. A great base for walking to old-town Cusco and the markets. Had dinner in the restaurants twice; food was excellent! Restaurant staff offered to send up a local remedy with my husband when I wasn’t feeling well. Beautiful courtyard with a fire pit and live music in the evenings. Great place for local color!

What a nice hotel!

El Mercado is in a great location.  Rooms are very well designed and comfortable, with great beds and most seem to be a good size.  Lovely toiletries. 
Some rooms open onto the main courtyard which may be noisy - worth checking.  Great views over the main square and cathedral from the walkways on the top two floors. 
Breakfast is terrific, one of the best we have had... but unfortunately the evening service in the restaurant is not.   Menu was rather boring and limited and evening staff not very friendly or helpful.
